Tortoises, dragons and Sumatran tigers enjoy pumpkins at London Zoo ahead of Halloween
Galapagos tortoises, Okapi, Sumatran tigers and a Komodo dragon enjoyed Halloween treats London Zoo ahead of the spooky celebrations.
Footage shows the animals crunching pumpkins in their enclosures.
Zookeepers carved the squashes for some of the 14,000 residents who call London Zoo home, with many of the pumpkins harvested from the zoo’s own community garden.
London Zoo’s Zoological Operations Manager Dan Simmonds said: “Our zookeepers want to make sure the animals don’t miss out on the Halloween fun.
“With pumpkins in season, they are a sustainable snack for some of the animals, while others just love tearing them apart.”
